- I paid a visit to Northern England's highest narrow gauge railway,The South Tynedale Railway at Alston in Cumbria on the 12th May for their Barber Appeal Fund raising Spring Gala. After the opening address Special Guests and visitors boarded the train travelling over the newly extended line for the official opening ceremony at Lindley Halt.
After the ceremonial opening resident and guest engines Utrillas from The West Lancashire Railway and Harrogate from The Statfold Barn Railway went into service running over the newly extended line to Lintley,
Passenger trains ran in single and double headed formation. All the engines worked hard on the steep incline from Lindley,
With Diesels also working goods trains, Hog roast, a Bar with some excellent beers (which I felt obliged to try ) The Stanhope Band, Engine shed tours and Railway walks there was more than enough to keep visitors happy.
This was my first visit to The South Tynedale Railway.
Will I be visiting again ?
You bet I will.
Thank you.Glad you liked the video.The railway does run through some spectacular scenery.
Thanks Tim, Your right Harrogate really does get around. Suits me,Great little engine.
Thanks Mark,Glad you liked the video. Its a smashing Railway in lovely countryside. I think you would both like it.
That looks a well organised setup, with some interesting rolling stock and some nice sempahore signals.
Thank you,Glad you enjoyed the video. The line must be about three miles in length now.Worth a visit if you can manage it.
This was the first visit to South Tynedale, It really is a great railway set it beautiful countryside.
That's a good idea, I'll try and get there on Saturday.Hope to see you there.
Thanks, glad you liked it. Its a 2 ft gauge railway.
Hope you manage to get there I think you would enjoy it.
Thanks Alan, As far as I know some of the line was in fact standard gauge and when it changed to narrow gauge allowed for a footpath to run along side the railway,which is fantastic for the photographer.The coaches are very impressive inside and out and the large windows allow great views of the scenery as it passes. I just loved the Buffet coach, Just perfect.
Thank you,Glad you enjoyed the video. They certainly work hard leaving Lintley. Enjoy your visit.
Superb video - they really have to work now with that grade from Lintley! Many thanks for the upload - can't wait to visit myself.
I dont know how many times I have planned to visit The Apedale Railway and haven't made it there. I am really looking forward to paying a visit.
Hi Tommy. Superb video of what looked to be a great event. We know nothing about this railway, but after watching your video, another one we must visit. Mark and Joseph
Cracking video Tommy. Love the way they've used part of the trackbed as a footpath, I wish more railways would do that. Those coaches look very impressive for a Narrow Guage, lovely big windows on them. Nice to see the Mollsmyre Fan Club in attendance too!:-)
Excellent video, I could almost smell the smoke at the beginning !
stunning scenery great filming interesting railway
They sat there most of the day watching the trains go by.
I love the two Sheep at 7:25, sort of one with its arm around the other.
Thank you,Glad you enjoyed the video. Its a shame you cant bottle that smell.
Very nice! "Harrogate" gets about a bit! Shame about the brass band interfering with the loco noises :)

Cool I will try to go there but it's a bit hard bucause I live in Dorset but could be combined with York I suppose!
Superb video but how long is the line now with the extension?
